With the dearth of drivers as described, how do the manufacturers even know that all the hardware works? That there are no flaws in how it’s all wired together?

- Palomides 1y agothe chip manufacturer usually craps out a hacked up android build
- dijit 1y agook, but, naively... Android is Linux with a userland- so the drivers must exist in some form.
- kanwisher 1y agoAndroid has some ability to have binary drivers that aren't easily reusable for normal linux branches
- notpushkin 1y agoYup. There’s libhybris/Halium which wraps Android drivers for glibc-based Linux distros, but I think it’s more of a hack / stopgap solution.
